"ensure that the unavoidable disruption to the lives of our military people and their families is kept to a minimum"

sounds like corp. downsizing or consoldiation.. Most major moves for a responsible company would be early spring to fall. so families can find new homes, settle and get their children registered in new schools so kid do not get transferred in mid grade. If not able to accomplish a move of this type it does cause separation of family in order to let the children complete their school year at the old location.. Many families today value their children education and social life so much some remain at the old location until the child finishes the their years out in the school they are presently attending.. This was unheard of twenty , thirty years ago but is more popular.

Let's hope the military when closing bases can make the same adjustments.

* The Navy and Marine Corps will accelerate research into developing a permanent mobile force capability using redesigned or new designs of cargo and combat ships that will enable them to launch combat operations directly from the sea.

The new catamaran hulled ships are pretty interesting.
